What is it a volcano? A A volcano is like a chimney in the Earth’s crust (surface) where magma flows out

3.
In 1883, a volcano called Krakatoa erupted at first. Eruption! Volcano Krakatoa

4.
The inside of the Earth is very hot, and some of the liquid rock called magma . Eventually magma, gases and ash break through a hole in the Earth’s surface. The hole is called vent. When magma lives the vent, it becomes lava. Plate tectonics theory explains how volcanoes form. Some volcanoes form above a hot spot, which is a very hot place in the mantle. The life of a volcano

5.
A volcanic eruption Contents: gas, water,water vapour, lava, ash. Scientists put volcanoes in to three groups: An active volcano is one that is erupting or will some erupt. A dormant volcano, is one that has not erupted for a long time. An exiting volcano is one that has not erupted for more than 10.000 years.

Volcanic landforms Are in many places in the world,in many different shapes and sizes. TYPES OF THE VOLCANO FISSURE VOLCANO SHIELD VOLCANO DOME VOLCANO ASH - CINDER VOLCANO COMPOSITE VOLCANO CALDERA VOLCANO

8.
Underwater volcanoes The floor of the ocean is similar to dry land. There are flat plains, mountain, ridges, canyons and trenches in the ocean floor. There are more volcanoes under the ocean than on land.

9.
Living with volcanoes The minerals and chemicals in the lava and ash make the soil fertile so it’s good for farming. Volcanoes also help to pruduce electricity. They heat rocks that are near the Earth’s crust. When this rocks heat underground water, it turns to steam. People use this steam to make electricity. This is called geothermal energy.

10.
Volcanologists Special scientists are called volcanolagists. They study volcanoes is different ways. They study rocks and ash from long ago. This helps to know about the volcanos history and to know what it is going to do. Volcanologists wear special suits while they collect lava. Carlos JOVÉ i Daniel GONZÁLEZ
